Introducing Brian Pagliaro, new SVP, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer


Brian Pagliaro joins the ConnectiCare team as our new Senior Vice President and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer. Brian brings extensive experience in employee benefits and health insurance to his new role overseeing sales, account management, and marketing teams for ConnectiCare commercial health plans.

Before joining ConnectiCare, Brian held senior leadership positions in sales, marketing, and client management at both nonprofit and for-profit organizations in the Northeast as well as North Carolina. A Connecticut native, Brian is happy to return home and work for a company he’s long known for its top-notch customer experience and well-earned reputation.

Brian’s looking forward to meeting you. If you’d like to get in touch, you can email Brian or call him in his office at 860-674-2277.

Fixed Funding Solutions – now available for large groups

Fixed Funding Solutions* level-funded medical plans are now available for your large-group clients (51-99 employees). This is an expansion of the plans that are available for your small-group clients (minimum of five (5) enrolled employees).

Fixed Funding Solutions plans may provide savings to your clients compared to fully-insured plans. They include a national provider network, prescription drug benefits, telemedicine, and plans that qualify enrollees to open and save in health savings accounts (HSAs).

Other important features include:

Surplus sharing upon renewal into a Fixed Funding Solutions plan (other details apply)
Access to local, regional, and national networks of facilities and doctors

These plans are available exclusively through the Connecticut Business and Industry Association (CBIA).

Are Fixed Funding Solutions right for your clients? Contact your ConnectiCare sales representative or account manager to learn more. Or, email or call us at 1-800-723-2986 to schedule an overview.

Fixed Funding Solutions for large groups

Fixed Funding Solutions for small groups

*Fixed Funding Solutions (FFS) plans are self-funded and are exclusively available to CBIA members who qualify. ConnectiCare Insurance Company, Inc., provides certain administrative services and stop loss coverage to employers.

New voluntary benefits for large-group clients

ConnectiCare now offers voluntary supplemental benefits for your large-group clients through a partnership with M3 Technology benefits specialists. There are no minimum participation requirements, and employees are guaranteed acceptance.

Underwritten and administered by Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company, benefits available are: term life, permanent life, disability, accident, and critical illness insurance. These supplementary benefits can help attract and retain quality employees while containing costs for an employer. All voluntary supplemental benefits are paid by the employees or members.

Contact your ConnectiCare sales representative for more information.
